[AF ASSIST LAMP]

For details on [REC] menu settings, refer to P18.

Illuminating the subject with the AF assist lamp allows the camera to focus on the subject in low

light conditions.

Applicable modes:

[OFF]: The AF assist lamp does not turn on.

[ON]: When taking pictures in dark places, the AF assist lamp lights while the shutter

button is pressed halfway. (Larger AF areas are now displayed.)

Note

• The effective range of the AF assist lamp is 1.5 m (4.93 feet).

• When you do not want to use the AF assist lamp

(e.g. when

you take a picture of animals in a dark place), set the [AF ASSIST

LAMP] to [OFF]. In this case, it becomes difﬁ cult to focus on the

subject.

• The AF assist lamp is ﬁ xed to [OFF] in [SELF PORTRAIT],

[SCENERY], [NIGHT SCENERY], [SUNSET], [FIREWORKS] and

[AERIAL PHOTO] in [SCENE MODE].

[CLOCK SET]

For details on [REC] menu settings, refer to P18.

To set the year, month, day and time.

It functions in exactly the same way as [CLOCK SET] in the [SETUP] menu.
